Hi folks,
Just to add here, that mobile broadband, especially with Three Ireland, is
now certainly a reality and not as expensive as you might think.
I use Vodafone's flavour of that product for work when travelling, but I
learned last week that Three offer twice the capacity and probably a far
better speed for half the price!
The Vodafone package is less than satisfactory.
For more info on Three's broadband go to

Regards,
Stuart.

Hi folks!
I would be interested in any info on what experiences people have made with
different wireless broadband options. I also want to avoid paying a monthly
rental for a phone line I'm not using otherwise - and I'm also not inclined
to get a package involving TV channels.
I want to leave Irish Broadband as their up and down rates are a bit slow
and more importantly because they have frequent connection break-downs.
I tried the Clear Wire website, but to my amazement their coverage checking
tool says that my area, Dublin city centre, is not covered.
Can someone please provide me with the ideal solution? ;-) Cheers, Robbie

Greetings Ed,
Free access sounds good!!
As a matter of interest How is Wireless in your neck of the woods?
Apart from hotels and such like, are there locations covered by wireless
broadband that you are aware of?
Sounds like a great idea to have a pint in West Cork!
Kind regards,
Tony Sweeney.
